The MASCOTS conference encourages original submissions describing state-of-the-art research in the areas of computer networks and performance evaluation of computer systems. Papers describing results of theoretic and/or practical significance are solicited. Experimental, modeling, and simulation studies are all in the scope of the conference. Works presenting novel performance evaluation methods or providing insights on design and runtime management tradeoffs are particularly encouraged.
Broad topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Computer architectures, multi-core processors, and memory systems
Computer networks, protocols, and algorithms
Databases and Big Data technologies
Distributed and Cloud computing
Energy efficient computer systems
Mobile systems
Multimedia systems
Operating systems and virtualization
Smart grids and cyber-physical systems
Social networks
Storage and file systems
Web systems, enterprise applications and web services
Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks
MASCOTS will accept two types of submissions: Full papers (up to 10 pages in length) and short papers (up to 4 pages in length). These page limitations include all figures, tables, references, and any potential appendix. All papers should be formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 point or greater. For guidelines regarding formatting, please refer to the IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings.
Short papers provide a peer-reviewed forum for late-breaking or preliminary research results, giving an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent research, and to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting. Unsuccessful full paper submissions, where appropriate, will automatically be considered for publication as short papers.
